Resource Update: Recreational Marijuana in the New Jersey Workplace

One of Governor Phil Murphy’s top priorities in his new administration is the decriminalization of marijuana in New Jersey. The proposed bill most likely to become law this year comes as employers are just getting comfortable with a workforce eligible for medical marijuana use. Though similar to current medical marijuana policy, the new proposed law legalizing recreational marijuana use will affect hiring, discipline, and firing decisions in novel and important ways.
